Woo, another person on the internet who thinks every fat person is that way because they like to be or something.
Yeah, if a person is addicted to food for one reason or another, it's not that easy to just stop eating and stop being fat. It's the same as being addicted to cigarettes or alcohol. It takes a lot of self control and most often tons of time.
Seriously, get over yourself. Just because you're a pampered bitch and haven't had anything go wrong in your life doesn't mean everyone's that lucky.

I get bitched at and called disgusting for smoking cigarettes, and you know what? I'm damn glad for it. Smoking is disgusting, and it's really unhealthy, so people should disapprove of it. Doesn't mean I'm going to quit because I don't give a ****, but people shouldn't be like, "Oh, you're an addict! It's not your fault!" Dafuq you mean? It's ENTIRELY my fault.

Being fat is disgusting. I'm not going to tell fatties it's not, and you're beautiful, and you should love your body and all that. Loving your body would mean not letting yourself turn into a land whale in the first place. It's called having self-respect and being healthy.

eh.... I agree with elements of both arguments here. It is very hard to overcome weight problems if you have some sort of genuine disorder causing it. But then if I had something like that then I'd see it as an illness like any other, and be determined to beat it. Giving in to any illness just makes you sicker, and eating disorders are no different.

On one hand, there are whalelords who you see at carnivals and McDonalds ordering one of everything and then scarfing it down like it was their last meal. They tend to flock to these places in herds, too, making it impossible to walk past without rubbing at least one sweaty, never-been-properly-cleaned fat fold.

On the other hand, there are people who are big boned (an x-ray will show it) or have literally no thyroid. These people are easier to spot because they aren't shoving food down their faces and typically don't have as many rolls.

Me, my medication made me shove food down my face even when not hungry (it affected my impulses) and I got fat. To counteract this, though, I'm now dieting and exercising and understand it was completely my fault that I got fat.

TL;DR Most fatties have no self control and don't know how to stop eating and ride a bike or run for fifteen-twenty minutes. Sometimes though you'll find a big person who is always dieting and doesn't look like a mountain of whipped cream, they were born with a condition.

Big boned is almost nonexistant. Even if you are relativaly big boned, you might have a slightly larger figure, but bones will never make you appear fat. Also, I agree with the medical conditions thing, such as a slow metabolism, but people use that excuse too much. It really isn't is common as one would have you think.

Good for you for doing something about your weight, though. There's nothing I hate more than a fat pig who doesn't even try to do something about it.

I wouldn't call myself a pig yet, but I understand that I shouldn't let a side effect of a medication be an excuse.

There are some people I know of, and they fall into the category of not really having rolls, just a thick frame. Pituitary gland conditions can also cause that, but somebody like the sleeping "beauty" in this picture is definitely just an overeater.

Personally, I think that excessive weight gain is a disease and should be treated as such. A lot of overweight people think it won't hurt them, but as they get older they'll find it's harder to keep the weight off or to loose weight, and everyone knows that it causes many health problems, and can kill you.

i could be happy with good personality. we'd have good conversation and a lot of laughs. i could eventually see love growing between us and her looks would cease to matter; she would forever be a beauty to me and i would make sweet love to her, not for me, but to show her that someone cares enough about her to want to make her feel good about herself.

Generally when a woman is jealous of another women's position she will complain about them. This is well observed in female social situations. Just because it's over weight doesn't change this. You get the same amount of woman complaining that one of their acquaintances is too thin as you do too fat. Women are also aware of this. This is called 'bitching'. This is one of the reasons I prefer male friends, but I digress. The difficult part of this is trying to decipher whether an individual is releasing steam, bonding with other women or genuinely being horrible. There's a lot of jokes surrounding the issue that woman do nothing but complain, and this is partially true. It is proven that bitching builds closeness between women and allows for trust and openness to build. I think it's idiotic that you're building trust by abusing that of another person, but this is apparently how it works.

Can we stop feeling pity for 'misunderstood nice guys' on the internet? In the vast majority of cases, it is their own fault for choosing to be creepy or a dick.

Seriously, random internet superheros. Do something about it. Stop pretending that dickish behavior behind a veil of anonymity is ok.

Stop trying to shame the girl you like for being nice to you, rather than 'hopping on the D'. It's our personal imperative to seek someone who's not a total tool with a completely warped view of themselves and society.

Take responsibility for your own asshattery, and loose the god damn attitude.

Everyone has flaws. Recognizing them is ok. Not dating them, if they're a deal-breaker for you, is ok (goes for all the 'Friendzone' on here too). Mocking them endlessly and being a complete and utter ass about them is NOT the opposite of coddling. You can not support something without being a dick about it. Try to learn the rules of common societal courtesy and you'll have more luck with women.

I don't think most fat women are trying to shame men for not finding them attractive. That's not the issue. I think they're trying to shame men who are being rude about it. If a guy doesn't find someone attractive, nothing wrong with that. He likes what what he likes. But some guys can be real dicks when it comes to women they don't find attractive.

Personally, I am not attracted to guys with no muscle, because I am an active person and want someone who can keep up with me and enjoy hiking and kayaking and stuff. But I'm not going to insult those guys just because I don't find them attractive.

Fat people could still keep up with you on that kind of stuff........
I'm fat, not really fat but have some extra meat on me, but I am really athletic. I hate when people assume because I'm a little more round than them that I can't do anything physical. I am 5'7 and 190lbs. I run a mile in 6:30. Not the best mile, but good for a fatty. I could keep up with kayaking, hiking, stuff like that.

I never said anything about extra fat... An active lifestyle is what's important, a few extra pounds don't matter to me. Like a lot of football players, some of them look like they're carrying extra weight but a lot of that weight comes from muscle.

I'm one of the fat girls who got off her ass and did something about it so I'm not just spouting crap here. Having been on both sides of the weight spectrum, it's tough to change life habits, especially if you've been chubby since childhood. Usually those girls who shame thin women are trying to feel better about themselves. Deep down they know that being overweight makes them unhealthy and unattractive to most people, but it is much easier to blame your problems on the world than to fix something about yourself.

I'm against shaming anyone in general, because it's not constructive. It's the reason why a lot of heavy women (and men) avoid places like the gym. When I first started changing my life habits, instead of encouragement there were guys laughing and making snide comments about me in the gym when I'd go to exercise. Making me feel shame never helped me get in shape. Spite did, though. Now I'm thin and can run laps around most of those same guys and they wonder why I won't give them the time of day.

Well then that's their own problem and they'll just have to struggle on their own.
It's not just a problem with women either. I have a male friend who does weightlifting all the time, could probably bench press three of me. But all he eats are carbs and protein (won't eat any fruits or veggies), he will down an entire large mac and cheesy bacon pizza and four beers by himself in one sitting. He wonders why he's still over 300lbs and gets offended if I suggest he eat more fresh produce.

No. He's not. He's not a tall person and is morbidly obese. He wants to lose weight, and thinks that weightlifting is sufficient exercise to do so and doesn't need cardio or a change of diet. He's always eaten like that, I'm friends with his sister and she's never seen him eat any fruit or vegetable except maybe potatoes. Everything is greasy, and it's also why he has such bad BO.

I know he would but we've tried, his sister and I. He says cardio is for girls. We've also offered to cook for him-- protein rich meals that have better nutrition than greasy pizza. Won't touch it. :/ He's a stubborn one.

I am what most would consider a fat and ugly woman. I do no try to shame other women for being skinny... Some people are genuinely fat due to genetics. My father is tall and fat.and so is all of that side of my family. I am also pregnant and after the baby is born I will be trying insanity. The only time I ever say anything about weight is when someone else brings it up. Like my sister in law thought she was fat so she went on a diet where she did nothing but drink juice. I said "Oh please, you are not fat! I am!" she said "No your just pregnant!" Which is true after the baby is born i will drop about 20 lbs right there and be back down to a size 16

Can everyone calm their tits and get over the fact that some people are fat. Why should everyone care? I don't see a fat person and think "Oh that poor person I bet their life is so hard!" or "Fat ****. It's their own fault!", I just don't give a ****. People can't decide whether you have self restraint or **** if you're thin, and they can't decide that you're a person with weak will power if you are fat. Seriously, it's easier to not give a **** about people that you don't know/care about.

I KNOW A MAN WHO COULD HOLD YOUR HAND, TELL U HE LOVED U &&$$ BE ******* HIS OTHER WIFE/GIRLFRIEND$$$ TRUE STORY FOR MANY YEARS EVEN BEAT COUCH POTATO UP/ SADLY/ JOKE~ NO MARRIAGE~ THE D~ WATCHERS SAY~NO 5TH?? ANOTHER PLAN TILL 2014/ NOT- RUMOR HAS IT'S ADELE

I can eat a single hot pocket and go the whole day without being hungry again, is anyone else like this? Im afraid that fat people do not have the ability to stop eating and cannot sense when they are full. When im full i feel like throwning up, idk about you guys

It depends on how fast you eat your food as well. The faster you eat your food, the less noticeable it becomes when you get full. Also if you're preoccupied for the day, you may not notice your hunger. It's happened on occasion to me before when I've had to work on large papers.

No, obese people DO have the ability to feel full. They just feel full later than necessary. As for you eating a single hot pocket a day. You've probably got an eating disorder; assuming you're not a troll. The eating disorder is known as anorexia-nervousa.
